Theme: Crisis

Curt Doolittle updated his status.

THE CHINESE CREATED THEIR CULTURAL REVOLUTION WITH VIOLENCE AND POLITICAL INTENT. WE DID IT WITH A SELF ORGANIZING MARKET – WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THAT DIFFERENCE?

Their ‘Cultural Revolution’ involved granting liberal tolerance to defectors, then rounding them up and brutally killing them in the streets. A uniquely Chinese degree of practical political violence. Their difference in value of individual human life, and intra-cultural trust is evident. A difference we have only attributed to competitive outsiders and religious defectors.

Our ‘Cultural Revolution’ (means of identifying defectors, and those with in-group defects) is a free market where the defectors and defective are self-identifying by self-organizing.

Where the Chinese exterminated to maintain homogeneity, we can merely politically separate.

*Revolt. Separate. Prosper. Speciate.*

Look at the current crisis – genocide against our people – as an opportunity to voluntarily exit from the gene pool those costly genes that impede our transcendence into Overmen (gods).

Where we could struggle for another thousand years or more to produce a eugenic meritocratic, aristocratic, high trust, high commons, order – we can instead, radically separate not only others, but our own, and make a rapid leap in evolutionary progress.

Revel in our time. Few men have the opportunity to leave a mark not only on history – but on the transcendence of mankind.

This is the greatest opportunity since the failed construction of Roman Walls. Again – the Chinese succeeded where we have failed; for the simple reason that they use extraordinary violence to produce a hierarchical monopoly, where we use the violence necessary to produce a market of voluntary cooperation.

This insight helps us understand not just the Chinese method, but how our method differs, and where it is stronger (innovation and velocity) and where it is weaker (markets make one vulnerable to greed that consumes genetic, cultural, institutional, behavioral, and knowledge capital.)
